What hills are you dying on?

Really? That’s really surprising to me. I’m from Denmark where we use 24h time a lot so I’m used to it, but except for edge cases it’s easy to switch between them. Using Fahrenheit however is a struggle. I have to convert it every time, I have no idea about the temperature until I see it in celsius really. I guess it comes down to me having been exposed to both clock formats but only really on temperature unit.
My guess is I’d do better if every clock I owned was on 24-hour time. That’s how I did the Celsius switch, every device (except my car, which I haven’t been able to figure out how to change) I set to Celsius.

From a recent argument on here.
If you back-in to park in a typical parking lot, instead of just pulling in, I fucking hate you. I don't give a shit what your dumbass excuses are. It's NEVER faster or safer. There's no epidemic of backing over people. You could back in over someone same as backing out over someone. But that basically never happens anyways. But there's certainly shitloads of morons who clearly can't handle their vehicles or geometry and inconvenience the hell out of others as we sit and wait forever for your poor attempts to back-in and then straighten out two more times.
For everyone's insistence on doing this, they sure as hell fucking suck at it.
Now go buy a smaller car since you can't handle yours, learn to pull in and back out since it's simpler, and stop justifying the idiocy.

I'm not downvoting you, because this is the type of comment the thread is asking for. But I really need to question this one. To me, it's obviously geometrically easier to back into tight parking lots. I'm not sure if you're in the US, but here in Norway, parking lots are generally a lot tighter than american parking lots. When you have only about a meter of total clearance and a narrow road along it, there is no way in hell to pull in front first.

Apple products aren't any better than anything else, it's just marketing and branding. They're like the Starbucks of computers.
heh it truly depends on a lot of factors. I don't want to "cheap out" on a high-end windows laptop, their thermals are shit, the battery life is non-existent, the keyboard is trash, and the computer frame are rarely decent.
A macbook is expensive, yes, but I've never experienced having to doubt the hardware, or get weird issues with it. It's a peace of mind I'm willing to pay a premium for. I even have a mac mini as a server for the extremely low power consumption & extremely good CPU performance (seriously, this thing competes with i9s for a fraction of the power (I'm exclusively interested in single thread applications))
As for iphones & apple watches, I like to tinker with my stuff way too much for them to make sense to me (which my macbook allows me to do as much as I want)
I'm exclusively talking about my experience with apple silicon, idk how it was before the M1 chips came out.

camera phones
Why are all "modern" phones so full of cameras? One on the fucking screen & at least 2 on the back. I just want a phone with no cameras. Even 1 might be O.K., so long as it's on the phone's backside.
100% with you on this. All I need is a QR code scanner. I don't care about the pixel count, I want everything in my phone to be in performance / screen quality

"Your opinion of Monty Python is bad, and you should feel bad."
How? I didn't even say it was bad just not as good as people say it is. It's ok but it can only be random for so long. Once you've seen one episode you've seen them all. Monty Python is no different to those old asdfmovie videos.
Once you've seen one [Monty Python] episode you've seen them all.
Sir, these are not Big Bang theory episodes.

This is a one-way ticket to everyone being the dominant race behind the scenes because studios won't hire other races.

I have only a single exception. In Lower Decks, there's a crossover episode with Strange New Worlds where you see two of the animated characters in the live action show because their voice actors look like their characters. The other two main characters don't. One would need to be painted green and could probably pass but the other character, Rutherford, is a black guy voiced by an Asian Pacific guy, and ...yeah he could probably pass but that's...well it'd be a much easier call if the character and the VA's "race" matched.
(In the star trek universe this wouldn't matter at all, I'm only pointing out the IRL conflict. In fact, I believe they went with only two crossover characters for budget reasons)

Most ice cream isn't ice cream anymore. It is frozen dairy product or sometimes not even dairy, sometimes it's just frozen dessert product.

My country has 300 ethnics groups, so they tend to match character ethnic to its voice actor. But if it's not, no one gets angry. People is simply happy when various culture is celerated.
Though, when it comes to international movie/series/games, it truly does not matter as there's no way to 100% match voice actor race or ethnic groups.
Sometimes, people that outside the groups actually do a better match for a specific character. -

People without empathy shouldn't have the right to lead people (politics, work, ...).
There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.
Russia should be denuclearised and split up.

My guess is I’d do better if every clock I owned was on 24-hour time. That’s how I did the Celsius switch, every device (except my car, which I haven’t been able to figure out how to change) I set to Celsius.
I live in a household that is divided between Celsius (me) and Fahrenheit (wife). I wish I could switch every device, but I have to pick my battles. So I expose myself as much as possible and recite the following
30 is hot
20 is nice
10 is cool
0 is ice -
